"North Korea's Aggressive Military Testing Escalates Under Kim Jong Un"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-fire of a newly-developed submarine-launched strategic cruise missile, known as the "Pulhwasal-3-31," in the latest display of military force from the secretive nation. The test, which involved at least two cruise missiles, was reported by state media and comes amid heightened tensions around the Korean peninsula. The missile tests and bellicose rhetoric from North Korea have raised concerns, with the country stating that it is "fully prepared for a war" and will "thoroughly deter the U.S. and its stooges' invasion with overwhelming power."
